Tracing the years that have passed us by
We can reflect upon the hand me downs we wore
Such as the shirts and pants we could not buy
Or the responsibility of doing our chores
Hand me downs of a brother's bike or Fathers car
Or the wedding gown from the day that mother's wed
The family pictures that we always treasured
Or just the words of advice loved ones said
The hand me downs that helped us grow
By the wisdom we as children were given to share
What we do with our hand me downs is all up to you
We can live in a life of a fast paced lane
Or treasure the hand me downs that guides us true
Hand me downs are a blessings of gifted love
From the hearts of our Fathers and our Mothers
Hand me downs are also the Circle of faith
Inherit as one of God's family of sisters and brothers
